Once they are inside, the thief pulls up next to the car, and steals purses or other items, including a diaper bag. Pomorski said all the cars were left unlocked. Police were able to get surveillance video from Rosey's Romper Room, which shows a male driving a white or light colored SUV, most likely a Jeep. Pomorski said the video footage isn't the best, but they believe the suspect is a male (either white or a light skinned black) with black hair. "This guy will spend 15-20 minutes in the parking lot early in the morning, just waiting for a parent to pull up. In some cases, the cars have even been left running, and this guy takes advan- tage of it," Pomorski said. After stealing the purses, the sus- pect has traveled to local Merjer stores and the BP gas station at Ford and Haggerty to use the victim's credit cards. In addition to locking their cars, Pomorski said parents should be on the lookout for the bandit, so they can contact police.

Back in styleCanton couple opensnew salon with focus

on customersBY BRAD KADRICH

STAFF WRITER

Dawn Connors had already worked withJacinda Burdziak at four other hair salons, sowhen her long-time friend told her she wasopening her own salon in downtown Plymouth,joining her wasn't a difficult decision.

And now she's glad she did, becauseBurdziak's new venture, Vanity Salon, appearsto be gaining momentum,

"It's absolutely outstanding, because it's allabout the customer," said Connors.

"(Burdziak) is very successful in the salonindustry, she runs a very professional salon, andwhat I like about her as a businesswoman iswhat goes for one goes for all. she doesn't havespecial rules for special people."

It's a rule Burdziak is applying at Vanity, hersecond salon venture (she also is a former ownerof Plymouth's Salon Trio). She and husbandJohn opened Vanity last month, after John - abuilder by trade - got it built out from a designthey did together.

It's a return to entrepreneurialship forJacinda, who sold her interest in Salon Trioafter she and John married in 2001. The couplewanted to focus on starting a family and soldTrio "to free up our time and focus on that,"according to John.

Now, with daughter Ava now 4 and daughterLola is 1, the Burdziaks decided it was time toget back in.

"It took some convincing on my part," saidJohn, who is the son of former Canton TownshipTrustee John Burdziak.

The one caveat the couple, who live in Canton,decided early on was they'd own their ownbuilding, not seek a place to rent. They wantedsomewhere with great parking that would drawheavy foot traffic, and found just such a buildingin the 3,0 00-square-foot space on Penniman.

In addition to the great location, buildingownership also helps the couple secure somefinancial stability for the burgeoning family.

"We were only interested in owning the build-ing," John said. "It was in keeping with our lifechange and our family... we did it for them.The intent was for the future of our daughters.That's really important to us."

Once that was settled, Jacinda began gather-ing her staff, which now numbers more than30. In addition to more than two dozen stylists,she brought in two nail technicians, a barber tohandle men's hair an an aesthetician specializ-ing in skin care, facials and body waxing.

Jacinda, who celebrates 20 years in the indus-try in October, has worked with nearly all of

them at some point."I think I'm a good businesswoman, especially

in terms of customer service," Jacinda said. "Imake an effort to make sure everyone's fairlytreated. Nothing's about me, it's all about (thestylists)."

The salon is designed with all of that in mind.It's an airy two floors, with 17 styling/colorchairs. In addition to shopping locally whenpossible, the Burdziaks brought in a lot offixtures from Italy. The salon is painted withwarm, natural textures.

None of the stylists are on staff; all of themare independent contractors. Jacinda takesa rental fee, and the stylists earn their ownmoney.

"My whole goal, my vision, was an upscale,independent contractor salon focused on cus-tomer service," Jacinda said. "Everyone loves thespaciousness the salon offers. The energy is verypositive. It's definitely a good vibe."

She'll keep the staff well-educated with in-salon seminars and workshops, keeping up withwhat she said are ever-changing trends in theindustry.

"Education is important; it keeps you currentand motivated," Jacinda said. "Fashion changesby the season, and you have to keep up with thetrends. This industry changes so much, if youdon't, you can get stagnant."

raise concerns about Lilley Road projectBY TIFFANY L. PARKS

STAFF WRITER

Everything was going fine untilKatherine Gothard saw her swim-ming pool in a picture.

"It was almost like a fluke," shesaid. "I said, 'Whoa, hello, wait aminute.'"

Gothard, 47, has lived in herHanford Road home since 1989 andfelt compelled to attend a recentmeeting to learn about the township'splans to reconstruct a section ofLilley Road.

The project, whichis scheduledto begin Monday, will cover a mile-long stretch of Lilley from Ford toWarren. In addition to widening theroad, enclosing a storm sewer systemand replacing the existing bridge overWillow Creek, creating right-turnlanes on the northeast and southwestcorners of Lilley and Hanford couldbe tacked onto the construction.

The intersection was previouslynamed one of 34 that the townshipneeded to improve within 10 yearsby Canton's intersection action com-mittee.

"Since we are doing work in the

area, it moved up the list," saidTownship Engineer Todd J. Zilincik,who added that talks of altering theintersection are premature. "Nothingis set in stone," he said.

The $1.9 million Lilley Roadproject is slated to wrap up in mid-November and is designed to lessentraffic congestion, improve the safetyof making left turns, fill in sidewalkgaps and improve drainage. Morethan 15,000 vehicles travel the roadevery day, but it will only be open tolocal traffic during construction.

The state will pay. 80 percent of theproject's cost while Wayne Countywill kick in the remaining 20 per-cent. Zilincik said the township willcover $40,000 for the sidewalk addi-tions.

Candice Clifton, 29, moved acrossthe street from Gothard four yearsago and said her suspicions wereraised when she noticed a surveyoroutside her home last month.

"I asked what was going on andhe told me that he didn't know," shesaid, adding that her husband latercalled township offices to inquireabout the situation. "They said thework had absolutely nothing to do

with Hanford and we breathed a sighof relief."

Gothard, who raised her con-cerns at the meeting, said she feltambushed when she saw an aerialphotograph of the area that featuredthe right-turn lanes on Hanford.

"When were they planning on tell-ing us," she asked angrily.

Hanford Road resident BillieWright-Ericson received a noticeabout the informational meeting, butdecided to forego it since she had nomajor concerns about the project.She was unaware of potential plansto improve the Lilley/Hanford inter-section.

"I wish we would have been told,"she said.

Wright-Ericson lives in the firsthome off of the southwest corner ofthe intersection and stands to losethe tree that her twin daughtersplay under. The 3-year-old girlsare disabled and mainly play in thefront yard because one of them can'tmaneuver her wheeled walker in thefamily's backyard.

"I will not feel comfortable havingthem out there if cars can get thatclose to them," she said. '

The reconstruction of Lilley Road from Ford Road north to Warren Road will start Monday.

If the intersection project does gate," he said.move forward, Zilincik said officials If the talks go smoothly, there's nowill meet with the affected hom-eowners to get their feedback andopinions.

"It seems like (Gothard) is tryingto stop this before it gets out of the

guarantee the work could happenwithin the Lilley Road constructiontime frame, he said.

A big challenge for Jacobs has been MotherNature.

With all the recent rain, getting asphalt in theparking lots has been delayed.

"We're fortunate to have all our sites ready forasphalt," Jacobs said.'"We hope to have it downon Monday and Tuesday."

This is the third year of the district's five-yearrenovation plan, which is funded by the 2004bond revenues.

Board of Education trustees have heard the -complaint by some district residents the renova-tions are using funds that could be used pay foreducational programs in the classroom.

"The money that our community so gracious-ly approved in the past to improve our schoolscan't be used, by state law, to operate ourschools," said Trustee Steven Sneideman. "Wecan pass bonds to improve the buildings, butnot for such things as busing, teacher's salariesor buying educational materials."

T. ie United States Consumer Product SafetyCjmmission reports that backpack-related injuries'^suited in over 6,500 injuries in 2000 alone.M st backpack injuries are caused by excessive weightiii^tributed unevenly on the back and shoulder. A•orient study in Italy found that the average child carries? backpack that would be the equivalent of a 39-poundburden for a 176-pound man or a 29-pound burden for3 132-pound woman. Of those children carrying heavyOe ckpacks to school, 60 percent had experienced backoain as a result. A good indicator of an overweightbackpack is to look at your child's posture. If he or she.eans or bends forward, the backpack is most likely tooheavy. Backpack weight should be no more than 5 to

10 percent of the child's weight. You can calculate the recommended weight simply bytaking your child's weight and dividing it by 10.The American Chiropractic Association (ACA) offers the following suggestions to help inthe prevention of backpack related pain:

- Buy a smaller backpack. This way, your child will onlycarry the necessities

- Distribute the contents evenly. The heaviest itemsshould be close to the body. These items should alsobe flat to prevent poking or rubbing the back.

- Talk to teachers about sending handouts and workbookshome instead of textbooks.

- Talk to your child about the risks of back and neck strain.Teach them to lift heavy objects properly. Bend at theknees and not with the back.

A second common backpack related pain s associatedwith the misuse of the shoulder straps. As many as onethird of backpack users in the 8 to 12 year old range don'tcarry their backpacks properly. The majority of children

their backpacks slung over one shoulder putting all the weight on one side of the :u iy.When it comes to straps, parents should remember these tips from the ACA:

Make sure the straps and back are padded. Unpadded straps can be irritating to theshoulderMake sure your child uses both shoufder straps. This distributes the weight evenly

nd can help in preventing misalignment of the spine and muscle fatigue.• Use backpacks that have a strap around the hips. This helps with weight distribution.- Adjust the straps to fit your child. The backpack should be no more than two to four,

inches below the waist.If your child suffers from neck, back or shoulder pain, don't wait, call our office today.

Chiropractors are trained to treat all ages and use a gentler type of treatment forchildren than we do for adults.

Paying off a mortgage depends on how much cash is neededA couple years ago I bought a new house andI made the mistake of getting an adjustablerate mortgage. The rate has increasedsubstantially and I am now paying over 7^s

percent. I owe a little over a$100,000 on my mortgage.I am retired and I have anannuity coming due that Ican cash out without penaltyand pay the mortgage off.My broker, who originallyarranged for the adjustablerate mortgage and soldme the annuity, wants meto refinance the mortgageand then to transfer the oldannuity into a new variableannuity. My Social Security

and pension covers my living expenses,however, I will need some additional moneyon a monthly basis if I choose to refinance.I have no other deduction other than mymortgage. Which way do you think I shouldgo?

Cash out your annuity, pay the taxes and usethe proceeds to pay off your mortgage. Thiswill solve your cash flow problem and allowyou to begin saving money on a regular basis.Since you are not in the position of needing

income, the monthly savingscan be invested ina growth product to provide you with income.

Many people make the decision to keep amortgage because of the tax write-offs. Eventhough taxes are important, they are not themost important item. The most important itemis how it affects your individual balance sheet.

In your situation, paying off the mortgageallows you to increase your net worth which isexactly what you want to achieve. In fact, bypaying off the mortgage it may have no impacton your tax situation. After all, many peoplewho are retired find that if they did not havemortgage they would be entitled to take thestandard deduction which offsets any loss ofthe interest deduction.

The key question of whether you pay off yourmortgage or not deals with your cash flow. Ifyou have enough money coming from SocialSecurity and pensions to cover your livingexpenses, then having a mortgage may makesense. If you are in a situation where youneed income from your investments to coverliving expenses, then paying off a mortgage isprobably the way to go.

My reasoning is that when you look at whatincome investments are paying versus the costof money, generally, you would be borrowingmoney at a higher rate than the income you

would get by investing.About 10 or 15 years ago, my husband andI did a Living Will along with a LivingTrust. Nothing has changed in our familysituation. Do we need to do anything?

You need to make sure your estate plan is upto date.

It is important to remember you doestate planning not to avoid probate or tosave on taxes, which good estate planningaccomplishes. The real reason is simplybecause you love your family. The goal is tomake things as easy as possible on your lovedones.

Throughout our lives we try to protect ourloved ones, we should do the same upon ourdeath.

I recommend a Medical Durable Power ofAttorney. A Living Will basically is a statementthat says if you do not have a quality of life, youdo not want to be around. The problem withthis document is it does not define quality oflife and it does not appoint someone to makethat determination.

A Medical Durable Power of Attorneyincludes the information in a Living Will butgoes further to name an individual who willmake the determination about quality of life.

It is important for everyone to have a current

Medical Durable Power of Attorney as evenrules regarding those documents have changedover the last few years.

The Living Trust that was drafted 10 to 15years ago may or may not need any changesmade. Each Living Trust stands on its ownand without reading the document it isimpossible to tell whether an amendment isrequired. Every two to three years you shouldsit down with an estate planning attorneyto make sure the document is up to date andmeets your needs.

As for the Medical Durable Power ofAttorney, you do not have to see an attorneyto draft this document. Michigan offers a freefill-in-the-blank form known as the MichiganPatient Advocate Form. It is available in manylocations including public libraries.

Like everything else in our lives, change isconstant and it applies to estate planning. Ifyou haven't done any estate planning it's abouttime.

to police.During her testimony Friday, Poole's voice

quivered and cracked at moments and she toldthe court that she was nervous.

Allison's paternal grandfather, KennethNewman, sighed sarcastically when Poole saidshe was suicidal after the toddler's death.

"I didn't want to live my life without her,"Poole said.

Newman's wife, Debbie, wiped away tearswhen Poole began to talk about Allison's inju-ries.

"She's trying to cover her guilt," she said."This is all a big act."

When Satawa asked why she signed and ini-tialed a form waiving her Miranda rights, Pooleanswered, "because they told me to."

Under cross examination, Wayne CountyAssistant Prosecutor Jerry Dorsey IV attempted

to refute Poole's claim that she felt threatenedby the police by saying she had been allowed touse her cell phone while in the back of a policecruiser and that she had been free to go homethat night.

Poole said she offered multiple stories topolice because she wanted to end the question-ing as soon as possible.

"I wasn't thinking," she said. "I wanted to getout of that room."

Poole offered four stories for Allison's injuriesincluding that she had bumped her head in bed,fell from a vanity and fell in a bathtub. The laststory she told, which she says is the truth, isthat she and Allison were playing "whirlybird"when the child accidentally flew over a second-story balcony.

Wayne County Circuit Court Judge UlyssesW Boykin will hear arguments from Satawaand Dorsey regarding the police statements onSept. 21.

Ask about fire safety on your child's college campus

Tom Kiurski

hen you start packingyour children up for col-lege, consider their fire .

safety while they are away fromhome. The 2006-07 academicyear was the most fatal one onrecord, as compiled by Campus

Firewatch, agroup dedicat-ed to makingcolleges anduniversitiesacross Americafire safe.

There havebeen 20 cam-pus-related firedeaths in thepast academic

year, and the total of campus-related fire fatalities sinceJanuary 2000 until present isan astounding 113. These areyoung men arid women whodied while away to prepare fortheir future.

Ask college representativeshow many fires have occurredin the past year, and findout if the residence halls areequipped with automatic firesprinkler systems. There hasbeen nothing more effective insaving lives from fire by havinga working automatic fire sprin-kler system. Unlike the mov-ies, only the sprinkler head(s)closest to the fire will activate.This will usually control orcontain the fire until the fire

department arrives.Another lifesaving device

that is necessary is a smokealarm. Hopefully your child'scollege has a fire alarm system.If they do not, purchase a bat-tery-operated smoke alarm fortheir room. They are simpleto mount (or keep on top of adresser), and easy to maintain.You may need to give yourchild a call to remind them tochange the batteries at leastonce a year. By having workingsmoke alarms, the chances thatyou will die in a fire decreaseby half. Make sure you have

working smoke alarms in yourhome, and test them regularly.

Find out if candles andHalogen lamps are prohibitedin the dorm rooms. If they arenot, they should be. If they arenot prohibited, let you childknow how dangerous theseitems can be. Unattended can-dles can easily find combus-tibles in small dorm rooms andHalogen lamps have bulbs thatoperate at temperatures over1,000 Degrees Fahrenheit.

Go over the fire alarm pro-cedure with your child beforeleaving them on their own.

Find the stairs out of thebuilding, and practice usingthem. Find out where the fireextinguishers are located andmake sure your child knowshow to use them. Locate thefire alarm system and reviewhow to use the alarm system,as well.

Your child may be leavinghome for an extended periodwhile away at college. If youhave not discussed the itemsoutlined above, take a few min-utes to do so

According to Evans, whenDebrincat again contacted theofficer's online profile he senther images of himself mastur-bating.

When deputies arrestedDebrincat they also seized hishome computer, which theywill examine for evidence.

"If our officer chatted withhim long enough, the suspectlikely would have attempteda sexual rendezvous," Evanssaid. "However, we alreadyhad enough evidence to arresthim and we wanted to get himoff the street before he had

a chance to victimize a real 'child."

Debrincat is the 132nd sus-pected child predator to bearrested by theSheriffs Internet Crimes Unitin the past three-and-a-halfyears, with the unit maintain-ing a 100-percent convictionrate.

"The issue, particularly forme, is that the number of pred-ators is staggering," Evanssaid.

"The number of solicitationsour officers get are in the hun-dreds per person, and it's onlythe tip of the iceberg."

Evans said the InternetCrimes Unit consists of only

a handful of officers, whichmakes it difficult to keep upwith the number of onlinepredators.

"In our economy, we can'thire new officers to handle theepidemic, and we need the helpof parents and grandparentsto police Internet usage in thehousehold, and if they suspectanything suspicious to give us acall," Evans said.

"These aren't just predatorswho reside locally, it's a nation-wide network of people withperversions that drive or flyhere to harm our kids."

Hacker Golf Scramble tees up for MSBYALEXLUNDBERG

STAFF WRITER

A family of duffers facedwith a loved one's diagnosisof a debilitating disease of thecentral nervous system is put-ting the call out, again, to allgolfers to pick up their clubsand play a round for charity.Barring that, they'd at leastlike people to come out andeat for charity, which is just asgood.

The Fifth Annual HackerGolf Scramble, a benefit golfouting raising money forMultiple Sclerosis outreach andresearch, is.being held againthis year starting at 10 a.m,Sunday, Sept. 9, at Beacon HillGolf Club, 6011 Majestic OaksDrive, in Commerce Township.

Scott and Ruth Crichtonlived in Redford for 46 years.Years ago, their niece was diag-nosed with MS and the familystruggled to find some way tohelp.

"We couldn't really do any-thing for her personally," ScottCrichton said. "We decidedwe'd do what we could to raisemoney to help wipe out the dis-ease. I and a lot of my friendsare golfers and an outing wasa practical way to raise moneyand have a good time."

In the four previous yearsof the fund raiser, the HackerScramble has raised more than$46,000 for MS research. This

year, they're hoping to crackthe $60,000 mark.

"We usually get between 110and 140 golfers," he said. "Thevast majority are golfers butthere are some people who justcome for the dinner."

Tickets to participate in thescramble are $100 and dinner-only tickets are $50. In bothcases, $25 of every ticket goesdirectly for the cause.

The effort is still looking forcorporate sponsors as well asparticipants. A donation of$200 will get a company logoor business card on an 11- by17-inch placard at an individ-ual tee and information aboutthe company in a package ofinformation given to everygolfer.

The big sponsorship, thebusiness that will give awaylarge prizes to hole-in-one golf-ers, so far is Shuman ChryslerJeep in Walled Lake.

"They're giving away car, atrip and a set of golf clubs," saidsponsorship Manager DebbieHuet.

"Last year they were givingaway a Chrysler Crossfire."

National MS SocietyMichigan Chapter vice presi-dent for marketing and devel-opment Leslie Kota describesevents like the HackerScramble as third-party eventsand vital to the work the chap-ter does.

"The National MS Society

puts on a variety of eventslike the MS Walks and BikeTours to raise funds," she said."Hacker and events like it arethird-party: We don't organizethem, other people take on theresponsibility of organizingthem for us. They're absolutelyimportant, every dollar is help-ful towards our mission."

Of course, the National MSSociety is working to eradicatethe disease, but that's not allthey do. Kota said there are anestimated 16,000 people livingwith the disease in Michiganand each person with the dis-ease represents another sevenwho are impacted.

The Michigan chapterexpects to raise more than$3 million over 2007 andabout $275,000 of that isexpected to come from third-party events like the HackerScramble.

The National MS Societyhas a number of programs andservices dedicated to helpingfamilies and caregivers of MSpatients and events like theHacker Scramble go a longway toward keeping those pro-grams up and running.

Attendance at the event islimited to the first 144 golfersand 56 dinner guests. To par-ticipate in the scramble or tomerely have dinner, contact theChrichtons at (248) 684-0020or e-mail at [email protected].

Shutting down governmentwon't cure the state's ills

College-bound? Here's a list tomake and check twice - and more

Chuck Moss

Summer doesn't mean the state budgetfights are on vacation. Gov. JenniferGranholm wants tax hikes, the

Republicans don't and the House Democratsare caught in the middle. What's going on is aclassic case of gridlock, and the buzz aroundtown is that the governor will try to cure leg-islative logjam with dynamite: a governmentshutdown.

Shut down the government and blameit on the Republicans? Make those pat-

ented Granholm five-hankiespeeches? Tow the tame mediaaround for some visuals ofclosed-down parks — maybewith a sobbing little kid out-side a chained-shut gate andthen make the speech forhigher taxes? Heck, it workedfor Clinton against NewtGingrich, so why not? Actually,there are lots of reasons. Ashutdown is a stunt and a very

risky gamble. It's unnecessary, irresponsibleand dangerous.

It's dangerous because a shutdown throwsthe state's string-and-duct-taped financialcondition into a maelstrom of uncertainty.And folks, Michigan's fiscal state is even moredicey than you think. Michigan ca,n't affordany more explosions, and those billion-plusoperating deficits are just the tip of the ice-berg.

Let's start with the biggest bomb, thesame one that's all but blown up the U.S.automakers: legacy costs. Pensions aren'tthe real problem, it's "OPEB" or "Other Post-Employment Benefits," basically everythingbut the pension — mainly health care. Thestate has been paying OPEB costs on a pay-as-you-go basis, which is like covering the mini-mum on your credit card.

But a new accounting rule is coming intoeffect called GASB 45, which will requiregovernments to get actuarially determinedfigures for their OPEB costs and carry themon the books as liabilities. Michigan's unfund-ed liability for public employees, includingteachers, is estimated by Credit Suisse to be$22.74-5 billion.

That $22,745 billion liability compares tototal state government assets of $30,427 bil-lion. That includes the Mackinac Bridge, stateparks, Mackinac Island, the Capitol Building,etc. Even more daunting, the new financialguidelines strongly prefer pre-funding ofthese liabilities, so Michigan has to start put-ting money aside for this huge obligation, aswell as rethinking whether it can continue topromise these benefits to future employees.

But this won't be so easy. At the same timewe have to start putting money aside, we

find ourselves with less money in the bank.A recent publication from the non-parti-san Citizens' Research Council, "Michigan'sDeteriorating Cash Position," explains it all.

Briefly, "From fiscal year-end 2000 throughfiscal year-end 20003, Michigan exhaustedover $2.99 billion in its major funds cashreserves (General, School Aid and BudgetStabilization Funds) to support spending inexcess of ongoing revenues. As of fiscal year-end 2006 major cash fund balances were neg-ative $1.3 billion, a net change of more than$4.2 billion over six years." In other words,instead of balancing spending to income, weblew through over $4 billion of cash reserves.

This is dire — and damning. It start-ed under Engler, but accelerated underGranholm. We spent more than we took inand ate up our savings, all to stave off makingthe hard choices, as well as the day of reck-oning. Well, that day isn't here, but it's com-ing fast. This fiscal fecklessness has left ourcoffers so bare that even if Michigan wantedto save money by converting teachers to adefined contribution plan, we lack the cash todoit.

Not only that, but the drained reservemeans we lack a cushion for routine cash-flowsituations. The state collects money in the lat-ter part of the fiscal year with property taxes,but has major payouts in the School Aid Fundin August. Michigan could find itself in a cashcrunch which it can only cover by borrowing— yet we're currently at our constitutionallimit for short-term borrowing. Hence SchoolAid and General Fund have borrowed fromother state funds to meet daily needs and themanageable pool of common cash is lowestsince 1992.

Folks, this is not a situation to be solvedby pulling higher taxes out of a magician'shat. Michigan needs plain old-fashionedfiscal prudence,,and willingness to look atboth reality and the bottom line squarely. Afinal thought from MIRS News; "Since Gov.Jennifer Granholm issued her latest moratori-um on new hires, transfers and promotions onMarch 29, the state Budget Office has grantedat least 2,373 exceptions, the state budgetoffice confirmed." That's $40 million worth!Brave words and bold initiatives only work ifyou really do them.

A House committee on OPEB obligations isnow meeting and seems to be facing the prob-lem unflinchingly. Granholm needs to do thesame, and above all avoid the dangerous, reck-less political gamble of a government shut-down. Michigan's fiscal house is too shaky tobe playing with dynamite.

ap* ven though Christmas is four holidaysIP5 away, parents of high school seniors are^m already making their list and checkingit Lu ice. But this list is about getting back toschool. Pencils? Check. Assignment book,organizer, or electronic planner with optionalmusic download capability? Check. Pre-fadedjeans with factory-installed rips and a waist-line that's miles away from your child's waist?A tough call

List of colleges to consider for life after highschool?

If this last item isn't on yourlist, you're not alone, and you'renot too late, but it's time to getbusy. The good news here is thisitem is easy to achieve. Unlikeback-to-school shopping, whichinvolves many stops and lots ofsnacks, developing a list of col- ,leges to consider only involvestwo steps and lots of snacks.

For some parents, the big-gest challenge in making plans

for college is making them with their child,not for their child. Senior year comes at a timewhen students want to make their own deci-sions about everything, which is natural. Butparents have an interest in their child's collegeplans, since college plans have a direct impacton their child's future, the relationship parentswill have with their adult child, and of course,their household budget, as parents determinethe best way to pay for college.

So step one is to buy a pizza.Sitting down over a family snack is a great

way to begin the college discussion. Parentsstart the conversation by saying they want tomake sure they're doing everything they can tohelp their senior without hassling them — soyou'll all sit down once a week to discuss col-lege. Parents can find out how college plans aregoing, and the student doesn't have to worryabout getting ambushed with a college ques-tion on the way out the door with their friendsFriday night. And if the student wants to talkabout college some other time, that's a bonus— as long as they avoid ambushes, too.

After about two or three of these weekly familymeetings, the second stop is the school coun-selor's office. The counselor is the person whowill be processing the paperwork for your child'scollege applications, so you want to make sureeveryone is working off of the same informationabout the application process, and focusing onyour child's interests and needs.

Having an adult in the high school who sup-ports your child's college plans is a tremendousbonus. For many schools, however, counselorsare challenged with an enormous number ofstudents to serve; the national average is over

Sitting down over a family snack is a great wayto begin the college discussion. Parents start theconversation by saying they want to make surethey're doing everything they can to help theirsenior without hassling them - so you'll all sitdown once a week to discuss college.

500 students per counselor, and some counsel-ors have caseloads over 1,000. The key here isto build a good relationship with the counselor,support your child, and respect the counselor'stime, all at once. Begin this relationship bycalling the counseling office for a 20-minuteappointment in early September with the coun-selor, the parents, and the senior. At the meet-ing, the parents should ask the following fivequestions:

• What should my child focus on as a stu-dent this year? "Senior year isn't just aboutprom and graduation — it's another year forthe student to learn more about themselvesand the world around them. The counselor mayhave some ideas on how you child can reachthat goal. This is the perfect time to hear them.

• Can we tell you a little about our childthat we think would help you with their collegeplans? Very few counselors will say "no" whenyou ask this question, so this i^your chance to- 'share your insights into your, child's life afterhigh school. Just be sure to keep it to about 3-5minutes — practice at home before going to themeeting.

• Does my child have a realistic list of col- '•leges? To be fair to the counselor, have yourchild drop this list off to the counselor a fewdays before the meeting.

• What are the deadlines for submittingapplications to you? With so many studentsto work with, the deadline to get the applica-tions to the counselor is probably earlier thanthe date the applications are due to the col-lege. Make sure you know these earlier dates,since missing them can cause delays and closeoptions.

• What's the best way to get in touch withyou? Most counselors are either e-mail orphone people, so you want to find out themethod that's going to get your questionsanswered the fastest.

These two simple steps will go along way .in building a solid college plan in a way thatmeets everyone's needs and probably leave timeto buy more school supplies to boot!

Regimental records200-piece collection

offers Civil Warperspective

BY TOKY BRUSCATOSTAFF WRITER

The Plymouth HistoricalMuseum has received a dona-tion of Civil War memora-bilia that Director ElizabethKerstens called "priceless."

The nearly 200-piece col-lection, which included pho-tographs, enlistment andcommission papers, servicepins and the muster book forthe 2nd Michigan InfantryRegiment — informationabout every soldier in the 2ndRegiment — was donated thissummer by former Our Ladyof Good Counsel Pastor JohnSullivan on behalf of the familyof Capt. John C. Hardy.

The Plymouth Historical Museum hasreceived a nearly 200-piece Civil Warcollection donated on behalf of thefamily of Union Capt. John C. Hardy.

Before he feft to become pas-tor of St. Owen in BloomfieldHills in July, Sullivan donatedthe collection that was givento him by Ortonville priest

John J. Hardy — a son of theCivil War veteran ~ before hepassed away.

"When I go to Civil Warshows, you always see bits andpieces," said Dan Packer ofPlymouth Township, a CivilWar historian who is cata-loguing the collection at thePlymouth Historical Museum."You hardly ever see it alltogether.

"The provenance (back-ground) is good," he added."A lot of times when you gethistorical things, you don'tknow where it came from, orwhere it's been. In this case, weknow."

The items are in exceptionalcondition, having been passedonly from Hardy to his son,and eventually to Sullivanbefore being donated to themuseum.

volunteers for the insurrec-tion of Fort Sumter in SouthCarolina," Packer said. "Hardylived in Detroit, but went withthe 2nd Regiment in Adrian.

"Hardy said he was 17 yearsold on his papers, but he wasreally only 15 when he joined,"Packer added. "He started as aprivate, enlisted several times,and ended up as a full captainby 1865, when the war ended.He fought over 20 major bat-tles, and was severely woundedin one."

Hardy was known as the"Hero of Petersburg" fdr captur-ing three dozen Confederatesoldiers by himself. It was atFort Steadmari, during GeneralUlysses Grant's Petersburgcampaign in Virginia, thatHardy was cited for conspicu-ous gallantry.

"The story goes that (GeneralRobert E.) Lee's army tried tobreak out of Petersburg, andwhen Hardy saw a rebel pok-ing his face out of the door ofthe Confederate headquartershe went charging throughthere with his musket, by him-self," Packer said. "When heopened the door, there were 35Confederate officers and sol-diers. He told them 'give it up,you're surrounded,' and theysurrendered. He became thehero of Fort Steadman."

Also included in the docu-ments are Hardy's ordnancerecords for ordering ammuni-tion during the Civil War.

"One document showed heordered 3,500 gullets dur-ing the siege of Petersburg onApril 1," Packer said. "On April2 they were expended, so hehad to get more bullets, andwrote out a form every time heneeded them."

Kerstens said the fact thedocuments have been in veryfew hancjs the past 140 yearsmakes this collection unique.

"The Hardys took good careof this, it's in fabulous condi-tion " Kerstens said. "Froman archival standpoint, thisis fantastic. If it hadn't beenfor priests taking care of it,the items would probablyhave been sold piece-meal, orthrown away."

Packer is in the process ofcataloguing each item with adescription, number and phototo be put in the museum's com-puter database. He wears whitegloves to pry documents thathave been glued to albums.

"Finger oil destroys docu-ments, and putting it in lightdestroys it after a while"Kerstens said. "Even put-ting it in plastic could, overtime, accelerate deterioration.However, we probably won't seethat in our lifetime."

The Civil War collec-tion enhances the PlymouthHistorical Museum's Lincolncollection, which is the state'slargest.

Volunteering, participating in sports consume Sasaki's 'free' timeBY ED WRIGHT

• STAFF WRITER

J ust call Lisa Sasaki the "anti-couchpotato."

Who has time to settle into aneasy chair and channel surf when you'reserving as the chairman of golf outings,volunteering several hours a month tocharities, participating in a golf league,playing regularly on a competitive over-30 soccer team and participating on arecreation softball squad?

Oh, and she's also a vice president atComerica, a position that requires fre-quent travel.

How does the 42-year-old Cantonresident fit all these activities into herFranklin Planner? With a potent combi-nation of enthusiasm, boundless energyand an enviable passion to help those inneed.

"As a volunteer, Lisa is very, very com-mitted to our cause," said CameronHosner, the president of Vista Maria,a Dearborn Heights-based charity thatassists abused, neglected and poverty-stricken women and children. "She's oneof those people who has come in andreally made a difference. We're privi-leged to have her knowledge and sup-port.

"Vista Maria needs to raise around$600,000 a year just to break even. It'speople like Lisa who make it possible."

Versatile volunteer

Sasaki's role is a multi-faceted one atVista Maria. She has served as a chair-person for the organization's Women-Fore-Women Charity Golf Outing,which recently raised $13,000 for VistaMaria. Sasaki also donates time as aVista Marie fund-development advisorand as the treasurer of the Clara B. FordCharter Academy, which will open soonon a 42-acre spread located near theintersection of Warren and Outer Drive

vin Dearborn Heights."It's cool being able to help make a

difference in some of these young girls'lives," said Sasaki, a native of Chicagoand graduate of the University ofMichigan. "When you talk to. some ofthese girls and you realize the abuse andneglect they've lived through in theirshort lives, it makes you realize how for-tunate most of us are.

"The time I put into Vista Maria is wellworth it."

Sports of all sortsSasaki admitted her two favorite

athletic endeavors are soccer and golf.She's a defender for the Michigan Magic,whieh competes in the "A" Division of the42-team Great Lakes Women's SoccerLeague.

Salem's relatively young andinexperienced boys soccer teamgrew up in a hurry Thursdaynight against state powerWarren DeLaSalle.

Almost too quickly, as far asthe Pilots were concerned.

The Rocks battled to the endbefore falling, 2-1, to the hostPilots. It was the season-openerfor both squads.

"Obviously, I wasn't happywith the outcome, but I couldn'thave been more pleased withhow we played," said Salemcoach Ed McCarthy. "It's benefi-cial to play outstanding teamslike DeLaSalle early in theseason because you can learn alot about your team and whatthings we need to work on."

McCarthy was complimen-tary when it came to the playof first-year varsity goalkeeperSasa Mirkovic.

The sophomore stopped 12Pilot shots.

"A couple of Sasa's saves weretremendous," said McCarthy.

Trailing 1-0 at the half, Salemdrew even 15 minutes intothe second half when GarrettRogers headed in a pin-pointpass from Alex Tramel.

"Alex did a great job of get-ting the ball on the flankquickly before crossing a passin Garrett's direction," saidMcCarthy. "Then Garrett justoutjumped the defense andheaded the ball past their div-ing keeper."

DeLaSalle scored the game-winner with approximately 20minutes left.

"We had a few opportunitiesat the end, but we couldn't fin-ish," said McCarthy.

Salem will square off withcross-campus rival PlymouthMonday at 7 p.m. at the P-CEPvarsity soccer field.

W.L. CENTRAL 2 , PLYMOUTH0: On Wednesday in a WLAAcross-over game played onthe P-CEP turf stadium, theVikings posted a shutout inboth teams' season debuts.

"It was'a disappointing 'effort," said Plymouth coachJeff Neschich. "We played OKlate in the first half and mid-way in the second, but we haveto be more consistent."

A team that could make someserious waves in the WesternLakes Activities Association in2007.

"We're looking good so far,"said Plymouth coach MaryKerwin. "Any time you can adda runner who finished fourthin the state in the two-mile likeKelly did to the group of girls wehave coming back, you have tobe excited."

Hahn, who is only a sopho-more, moved to Plymouthfrom Pennsylvania in Januaryand sparkled for the Wildcats'track-and-field team in thespring. She's no stranger to crosscountry, having run for her highschool team last fall.

"Kelly is notonly a great 'runner, but shehas a fantas-tic attitude,"Kerwin noted."She's verycoachable anddoes everythingshe's asked.

Kerwin gother first glimpse of Hahn's talentat last year's Division 1 Regionaltrack meet at the P-CEP sta-dium.

"I saw her run the two-mileand she ran a great race,"said Kerwin. "The thing thatimpressed me the most was thatshe was sprinting at the end eventhough there was no one aroundher."

will give the Wildcats a potent1-2-3 punch. Heldmeyer wasthe'lone Plymouth runner toqualify for the Dl state meet in2006 while Slavens has alreadyearned two varsity letters., "Both Beth and;Mblly havebeen among our top runnersthe previous two years" saidKerwin. "Beth is a very steady,consistent runner. She putseverything she has into every-thing she does. She has theheart of a lion.

"Molly's been one of our topseven runners the past threeyears. She's a great leader; shegets all of the girls involved ineverything."

Plymouth's top five will berounded out by seniors FamBhullar and Lauren Ahearn,both of whom will serve as cap-tains.

"Pam is a brilliant girl, she'svery smart and it shows in herrunning," said Kerwin. "She's avery hard worker. You ask her tojump and she asks, 'How high?"1

Returning contributors PaulaGreen and Julie Forrester, bothsophpsnores, are the early-sea-son W. 6 and 7 runners. SeniorsKatie Balaze, Annie Bergmansana Laura Hahn — Kelly's oldersister — will provide valuabledepth to the Wildcats' cause.

SALEMThe perennially strong Rocks

endured a rebuilding year in2006 as four-year star HannahCavicchio (who now runs forGrand Valley State University)was the lone Salem runner to

advance to the Dl state meet.Veteran coach Dave Gerlach

is banking on a group of youngbut unproven harriers to leadthe Rocks back toward the roadto success.

"I'm positively optimistic,"said Gerlach, whose teams wereregular participants at the Dlstate meet prior to last season."We were a little down last yearand we're definitely going tomiss Hannah, but we have agroup of first-year runners andsome returners who have reallyimpressed me so far. The entiregroup is stepping up and work-ing hard."

Junior Kelley Determan,last year's No. 2 runner for theRocks, takes over the No. 1 role.

"Kelley trained extremelyhard over the summer becauseshe knew she was scheduledto be our No. 1 this year," saidGerlach. "I think she learned alot from Hannah last year aboutwhat it takes to be successful."

Three first-year runners willfill out the Rocks.' top four slots,at least early in the season:junior Linda Ling, sophomoreJordyn Moore and freshmanMackenzie Rogers.

Senior captain SabrinaBurcroff, returning seniorFreyal Shah, junior EmmaVan Hoof and freshman KaraBooms will also play vital rolesfor the Rocks this fall. Othersbattling for varsity pointsinclude senior Lauren Olson,.Kristen Dondzila and KortneyMarsh.

Gerlach gave a nod to LivoniaChurchill and Northville as theteams to beat in the WLAA.

"Plymouth has some very tal-ented runners, too," he added.

The Rocks open their sea-son Aug. 30 at the LutheranWestland Time Trials atNankin-Mills. Their first invi-tational is set for Sept. 9 atBirmingham Brother Rice.

CANTONFirst-year coach Eric Pahl

inherits a team that is paced byone of the top runners in theWLAA, junior Sarah Thomas,who placed 43rd at the Dl statemeet in 2006.

"Sarah is a great leader anda hard worker," said Pahl, whoserved as an assistant coachat Canton last year. "She ran a19:02 at the state meet last yearand she's looking to break theschool record of 18:54 this year.Obviously, based on what she'sdone in the past, she has a verygood shot at it."

Pahl has set high goals for theThomas-led Chiefs.

"I'd like to win the City Meet,win the division and finish inthe top three in the conferenceand at the Regional," he said.

While Thomas is the Chiefs'top weapon this season,she's far from the only one.Freshman Rachel Rohrbachhas shown amazing potentialin early-season workouts whileseniors Katherine Rymond andBrittany Dempsey will providetalent and leadership.

"Katherine is a good, hardworker and is a very consistentperformer," said Pahl.

Whalers to rely on youthto repeat as OHL champs

A week before the start oftraining camps, there's plentyof good cheer around theOntario Hockey League.

Even though the PlymouthWhalers graduated a corethat led them to their secondOHL Championship since199.0, there's a talented groupof younger players returningalong with Whaler pups thatshould make the 2007-08 sea-son interesting and entertain-ing.

Training camp kicks off withthe Whalers' annual golf out-ing, which is set for Tuesdayat Fox. Hills Golf Course inPlymouth.

The Whalers will offi-cially get down to business onWednesday with off-ice testing.Plymouth hits the ice in scrim-mages on Thursday from 9:30-11:30 a.m. and 3-5 p.m.; andFriday from 9-11 a.m. and 3-5p.m. The scrimmages are freeand open to the public.

Plymouth gets the pre-sea-son started with its' traditionalLabor Day weekend home-and-home series with Windsor.It will host the Spits onSaturday, Sept. 1 at 4 p.m., atthe Compuware Sports Arenabefore traveling to Windsor onMonday, Sept. 3, for a contestat Windsor Arena.

Following are somePlymouth story lines worthwatching as training camp andthe season unfolds:

GOALTENDING:WithWashington-draft MichalNeuvirth and Nashville-draftJeremy Smith returning,Plymouth starts the seasonwith arguably the best goalten-ding depth in the OHL, if notthe Canadian Hockey League.

Neuvirth and Smith split theregular season last year, butNeuvirth became Plymouth'slead goaltender in the 2007playoffs.

Smith and Neuvirth are goodfriends and Smith took a pro-fessional attitude when he satlast spring during the Whalers'championship run.

"Coach (Mike Vellucci) saidit's not me, I didn't do anythingto get pulled out, it's Michalplaying really well," Smithtold the Vancouver Provinceduring the 2007 MasterCardMemorial Cup. "You've just gotto live with that. It just makesyou work harder. I'm readyto go whenever coach givesme the nod. I've got nothingagainst Michal or anything likethat."

Neuvirth has been signedby Washington and was hop-ing to start his professionalcareer within the Capitals'minor league system. But withveteran goaltenders alreadyin Washington's system atHershey in the AHL andSouth Carolina of the ECHL,Neuvirth will start the seasonwith Plymouth.

OVERAGES: In Evan Brophey,Steve Ward and Jared Boll,the Whalers had perhaps theirstrongest overage class-everlast season.

Vellucci will eventuallychoose three out of a 1987-birthday group that includesWes Cunningham, SteveWhitely, Sean O'Connor,Andrew Fournier, Joe McCannand Zack Shepley.

decide on three by January 10.If you're new to the OHL, you'llsee quite a bit of movementamong 1987 birthdays aroundthe league, probably right onup to the OHL's Final TradeDeadline on Jan. 10.

YOUNG VETERANS: Third-year veteran Chris Terry (66points) is the leading scorerreturning and A J Jenks, VernCooper and Kaine Geldart willsee their share of ice time. AddJoe Gaynor, Steve Lock (justover from Peterborough) andBrett Valliquette to the samelist. On defense, Carolina-draftBrett Bellemore will anchor theWhalers defense and fan-favor-ite Jozef Sladok will get moreice time along with Leo Jenner.A pleasant surprise could beJordon O'Neill, who moves thepuck well.

WHALER PUPS: Plymouth fanswill probably enjoy watch-ing Whaler rookies TaylorCarnevale, Chad Rutkowskiand RJ Mahalak up front andJosh Bemis and Tom Kane onthe blue line. Given the factthat Plymouth is a youngeroverall group this season, allfive (plus more) will see theirshare of ice time.

THE WEST DIVISION: It's fair tosay the West Division is evenlymatched, at least to start.Sarnia and Windsor have themost veteran players returning,so there is plenty of optimismin both cities.

Saginaw graduated PatrickMcNeill and Tom Pyatt andgoaltender Ryan Danielslooks to pick things up. SaultSte. Marie always works hardand overage goaltender KyleGajewski is playing for a procontract.

Canton —• the girls highschool golf team that callsHilltop home — will beshooting to get closer to theWestern Lakes ActivitiesAssociation mountaintop in2OO7.

Veteran head coach Dan1 Riggs isn't sure where hisvastly improved team willfinish, but he's pretty sure itwill be higher than the Chiefs'near-the-bottom standingthis past spring.

"We're head and shouldersabove were we were last year,"said Riggs, who is starting his26th year of coaching golf atCanton. "It remains to be seenwhere we'll end up becauseour league is so strong, but weshould be improved."

Riggs said his sport's switchto the fall has far more plusesthan minuses.

"The biggest positive aboutplaying in the fall is that theweather is so much nicer," hesaid. "I can remember playingmatches in April when it wassnowing out.

"The only negative is thatthe courses are more crowd-ed, but if our girls are playinga little too slow and there arepeople behind us, we let themplay through. I love the moveto the fall."

The Chiefs will be led by aquartet of returners: juniorsKara Gregory and ChelseaOsburn, who will be the No.1 and No. 2 players, respec-tively; along with senior AmyProvost (No. 3) and juniorAlexandra Wee (No. 4).

Other key contribu-tors will include MaryElizabeth Wintler, sopho-more Breanna Hicks, seniorJoanna Alexander and juniorMichelle Nagy.

One momentin time can beunforgettable

? generation has an event, onemoment in time that marks its unfor-

ale place in history.This blind-siding, heaxt-wrenching

event usually takes the life of a beloved fig-ure. Whether actor, activist, singer or heartthrob, no one will ever forget where theywere or what they were doing when thetragic news broke.

Crowds gather, tears flow and mobsof people are unable to wrap their mindsaround what has happened. It's called griefunspeakable and when it happens it seemslike the entire world has stood snU

..Argentina secured itsmoment in time whenit lost its precious Evita- Eva Peran-during theearity 1950s. The 1960sdelivered its own over-whelming tragedy withthe horrible assassina-tions of John F. Kennedy,Bobby Kennedy and Dr.Martin Luther King Jr.Duringthis time we were

a nation lost in grief.The world lost Elvis Presley in 1977 and

even though I was in my own little world atthe time I remember exactly where I waswhen I heard of John Lennon's passing in1980.

But, during my adult life I can't remem-ber a time that has so held a nation ofpeople captive like the event that tookplace Aug. 31,1997, in the wee hours ofthe morning. My Chicago hotel room andunplanned vacation did little to shield mefrom the unbelievable shock. In the earlymorninghours I awoke to my husbandtelling me that Lady Di, as Princess Dianawas so affectionately called, had been in acar accident on the streets of Paris.

Naturally, I thought it was bad dream,so I dismissed what my husband was say-ing and turned over to go back to sleep.The 7 a m news slapped me back into real-ity. My mouth must have hung open in dis-belief for at least two hours that morning.

During the following days and weeksafter Princess Diana's tragic death, in mystate of confusion and sorrow I grieved,as did we all. I can't remember a day thattears did not fell from my eyes duringsome point during the day. I remember raygirlfriend telling me she was the same way.There was a deep hole of despair that wecould not pull ourselves out of.

I cried for the tragic way Diana's life wastaken. And, oh how I cried for those boys,her sons who'd just lost their mother, andhow would they ever learn all the thingsshe would never teach them because nowshewasgone?

Dianahad herproblems and was calledby some lost and confused at times. But Ihave not met a human being yet who hasn'tfallen into that category at onetime oranother during their life.

After her divorce from Prince Charles,Diana seemed to have spent the remainderof her life looking for love, something shefelt was lacking in her marriage. She alsoseemed to be aball of contradictions andher love-hate relationship with the presswould prove to1» her downfall.

However, with all that aside, Dianataught the Royal family as well as theworld some needed life lessons. She taughtus about the power ofhuman touch andhow important it is. Caring and consider-ation, love and compassion - all things weseemed to be losing a grip on - she put onthe world stage for everyone to see.

It has been 10 years since Diana'suntimely demise and the one thing I can besure she taught us aU is that no royal crownor any sparkling palace hall, or any bulg-ingbag of cash could ever take the place oflove, simply loving one another.

Diana knew it all too well; this lessonshould be imbedded in our hearts forever.

Gleaners is renting the ducks fromCincinnati after that city's race to raise fundsfor hungry residents.

Every dollar spent to adopt a duck fromGleaners buys three healthy meals for onehungry child.

The Detroit race takes place as part ofGleaners 14th annual Fall Harvest FamilyEvent, 1-3:30 p.m, Saturday, Sept 15, at BelleIsle in Detroit. The adoption fee for ducks is$5 each, or $25 for five ducks to swim, in therace plus one extra feathered friend with theGleaners logo that will be mailed to the sup-porter.

Dream a little dream Creativity is keyto band mates

BY LINDA ANN CHOMINSTAFF WRITER

By day, Lisa Norton works on avariety of projects to promoteAngela Hospice's end-of-life ser-

vices, but when the sun goes down,just about anything goes as the 26-year-old Livonia violinist takes to thestage with el boxeo.

Creativity is key to Norton's life,whether she's writing a press releaseabout the Livonia nonprofit's Oct. 13fund-raiser to help patients and theirfamilies, or sewing jellyfish costumesfor friends who dance in the band'sshow.

"We play mostly instrumental,"said Norton, who interned at AngelaHospice while earning a degree inEnglish and fine arts at MadonnaUniversity. "We originally had key-boards, but have gone through dif-

ferent configurations. At the end of2003, we played our first show — justthe three of us — and realized we'dfound our niche." ,

Norton began playing viola in fifthgrade in Livonia Public Schools, butdidn't switch to violin until start-ing the band in 2001. Although sheenjoyed painting during her college,days, music and sewing have becomea big part of her life. Norton, herbrother and a couple of friends havebeen talking about starting a T-shirtbusiness since she silk-screened imag-es onto clothing for the band knownfor its unique music and show. One ofthe most creative moments on stage iswhen Norton wears tap shoes to soloon a ceramic tile left over from herbathroom floor.

BY LINDA ANN CHOMINSTAFF WRITER

John and Lina Del Signorenever dreamed that closingtheir Livonia restaurant wouldleave such a void in the com-munity. One year later theycontinue to hear about howmuch customers miss FonteD'Amore which the Livoniacouple owned for nearly 40years.

On Friday, Sept. 7, the De!Signores rekindle the warmthand atmosphere of the tradi-tional Italian restaurant whileserving up delicious food attheir Laurel Manor BanquetCenter, 39OOO Schoolcraft inLivonia. The Fond MemoryEvening - Memories of FonteD'Amore begins at 6 p.m.with cocktails and a DeluxeOpen Bar. At 7 p.m. guests canonce again enjoy the special-ties of Fonte's menu at stroll-ing food stations. Tickets are$40 and must be reserved byWednesday, Sept. 5, by calling(734)462-0770.

"When we sold Fonte lastyear Betty Jean Awrey, one ofthe legendary customers, saidwe have to have an annualcelebration," said John Del

Signore. "There are so manymemories. We have to do some-thing. We're going do the samething we did at Fonte, the samemenu. We had been there since1968. We had plenty regularcustomers."

Even though Bob and BettyJean Awrey sold their Livoniabakery two years, they con-tinued to eat at Fonte until itclosed Aug. 12,2006. Over theyears Awrey had volunteeredwith organizations such as theLivonia Symphony Orchestraand knew she could alwayscount on the Del Signores'support. Angela Hospice, theKarmanos Cancer Instituteand St. Mary Mercy Hospitalwere recipients of the couple'sgenerosity.

"They participated in every-thing for the community.They've been a big supporter ofthis community and the com-munity has supported them.It was just a place to meetand greet. It was a happeningplace," said Betty Jean Awrey.

Fonte D'Amore servedauthentic traditional Italianfood which came from the oldcountry until son Luciano DelSignore updated the menu inthe late 1980s. The restaurant

was named after the couple'shometown which meansFountain of Love. John andLina came to America shortlyafter being married in FonteDAmore some 49 years ago.Luciano grew up in the restau-

rant business and now runsBacco Ristorante in Southfield.

"It was more of an oldworld Italian restaurant whenit started in the 60s," saidLuciano Del Signore. "I reno-vated it to make it more updat-

ed, modern Italian. We hadupscale waiters and probablyhad the mos); important winelist in the area.

"I think the party is a niceidea. People will have anopportunity to see each other.If you were a client that dinedevery Friday night, there wereprobably 40 other people whodid the same."

Livonia businessman BillPhillips is looking forward tothe Sept. 7 event. He became aregular customer back in 1974after opening one of his busi-nesses in the area.

"I was looking for a placeto have lunch and went quiteoften. Lunch turned into din-ner and family events," saidBill Phillips, owner of PhillipsService Industries. "The foodwas excellent Italian food.Service was always very, verygood. We got acquainted withstaff over the years and Johnand Lina and the family. It'snot unusual for us to go totheir home or them to come toours. We've seen the kids grow.It's been a good relationship.They're very good close friends.John and I used to go huntingand fishing together and bringit back and cook it."

The Del Signores have beengood friends of Mary LouAndrew and her late husbandDan from the beginning ofthe restaurant. Dan served onthe city of Livonia's PlanningCommission.

"Our family was therefor First Communions,Confirmations, graduations,after weddings and funerals.Everything that was impor-tant in our life was there," saidMary Lou Andrew who's livedin Livonia 39 years. Andrew isplanning to attend the Sept. 7event with her daughter AnnKing and her husband Steve."The food was excellent. Theyprepared Dover sole at yourtable and it was just perfect.I want to say I'm fond of thefamily but the food was deli-cious.'1

Lina misses the customersas much as they miss her andJohn. "I cried for three weeks,"said Lina Del Signore. "I neverdreamed in my life that cus-tomers would come up and saycan you sign this menu, canyou take a picture with us. Wehave a case of memories fromcustomers, notes and photos."

driven rock band. The groupdoesn't even have a lead guitar,only Norton on electrified vio-lin, her brother Zach on bassand former Churchill Highschoolmate Danny Sperry ondrums.

Originally, the band wasstarted with friends JennyGuraina and Lars Hedelin,a Swedish exchange student.Gumina left in 2003, as didHedelin, who designed thecover for el boxeo's Awake& Dreaming CD released in2006.

Today, Gumina works withNorton at Angela Hospice pro-cessing donations. Norton saysshe enjoys her day job becauseshe feels she's helping people.

Founded in 1985, AngelaHospice served 1,359 patientslast year, from young childrento seniors.

"The band is a natural withall of us being friends and all ofus being interested in music,"Norton said. "We realize we'renot really a commercial sound,but it would be great to docommercial soundtracks. Mostof it for us is just having fun.We'd like to be able to tour."

Last summer, el boxeo trav-eled west for 3'/2 weeks to play

in clubs, bars, art galleriesand house shows in Texas,California and Washingtonstate.

"In rural areas where there'snot a lot of venues, people bookshows in their house. It mightbe in a house, but they haveshows every week," Nortonsaid. "We're like a party band.There's so much energy that myfavorite place to play is houseshows. There's so much energyin smaller venues. (Financially)we usually break even on tour.You stay with people you meet.You're getting to see the wholecountry through a van window.It's the complete absence ofstress to just go and play music.It's an amazing lifestyle."

Zach Norton and Sperryenjoy touring so much theytook off this summer to playwith Child Bite after perform-ing at the Blind Pig in AnnArbor and Elbow Room inYpsilanti in late June with elboxeo.

Both Wayne State Universitystudents return Mondayfrom engagements in Boston,New York City, Philadelphia,Georgia and Tennessee. WhileZach, the group's 24-year-oldbass player, enjoys the rowdierpunk music of Child Bite, elboxeo's post-rock can soundlike country or heavy metal.

Zach originally came up withthe band's name after seeing aposter about the sport of box-ing in his Spanish classroom.He says the two bands "satisfydifferent creative needs."

"I thought it was nice, but it'ssort of an annoying band namebecause you have to tell peoplehow to spell and pronounce it,"said Zach Norton, who's major-ing in public relations andwould eventually like to workin "the nonprofit sector likehis big sis" or in journalism.Norton has been involved withthe Wayne State newspaperThe South End and believes"newspapers are a vital insti-tution in the world today andserve an important purpose."

In the meantime, Zach andthe rest of el boxeo plan tospend the month of Septemberwriting songs for their new CDwith Suburban Sprawl Music,an independent record labeland musical collective startedin 1999 in Livonia.

"We don't have any loftygoals," Zach said. "It would benice to have the band togetherand keep making cool music,keep making interesting butstill accessible music."

Lisa Norton says many oftheir creative ideas come fromSperry, who's studying graphicdesign and print making at

With a flick of the switch,Heidi Baker promises to spiceup your romance.

All it takes is the installationof a dimmer switch in the bed-room — a project the averageJane could probably do in lessthan 15 minutes.

"Mood lighting is a must tocreating a romantic bedroom,so a dimmer switch is critical,"said Baker, author of Be Jane'sGuide to Home Empowerment.

The do-it-yourself homeimprovement author offers tipsfor a variety of projects, fromchanging toilet seats to addingnew counter tops. Her bookis aimed at women, especiallyyoung singles, who are about toenter the home market.

She'll share some of herremodeling tips, along withpersonal tales about life inthe toolbox, during a book-signing appearance at theBaldwin Public Library, 7 p.m.Thursday, Aug. 30. The libraryis located at 300 W. Merrill.Street and the presentation isfree to the public.

Baker, 38, grew up inBirmingham and was attend-ing Groves High School when

Authors Heidi Baker, left, and EdenJarrin wrote a do-it-yourself homeimprovement book for women.

her family moved to California.She began learning about homeimprovements after purchasingan 1,800 square-foot condo-minium in Los Angeles.

"Like most people, I washouse rich and cash poor,"she said. "The condo neededchanges and I didn't havemoney to make the improve-ments, so step-by-step Ilearned on my own."

It wasn't easy. Baker saidmost of the hardware storeclerks called her "sweetheart"

and tried talking her into hir-ing a professional when it cameto remodeling projects. Sheignored the advice and keptplugging along.

By the time she finished,friends were already asking herfor advice on everyday homeimprovement projects.

"Most people feel silly whenyou ask someone at a store toexplain the difference betweena pair of pliers and a wrench,"she said. "We wanted to createa book that would take thosegorgeous pictures you'd see ina magazine and then show youhow you can transform a roominto one of those pictures."

The book breaks a house upinto five separate rooms:

• A cookable kitchen.• A family room for families.• A romantic bedroom.• A spa-licious bathroom.• A dining room for special

occasions.Baker co-authored the book

with Eden Jarrin, a close friendwho shares her gung-ho atti-tude toward new kitchen cabi-nets. The two also run a Website called bejane.com and pro-duce an online television show.

They certainly found a nicheto cultivate. Baker said mort-gage lending companies like

Fun to the core ARTS APPLES FESTIVAL

Art & Apples bringsfamily activities, fineart and tasty appledesserts to Rochester

BY SHARON DARGAY

STAFF WRITER

If you're intent on showingyour work at this year's Art &Apples festival in downtownRochester, forego the paint andclay, metal and glass.

Try creating in Macintosh.Or Winesap, with overtones ofGranny Smith. You might win ahandmade pie plate for your culi-nary artistry.

"It's our first annual pie bake-off. This is open to everyone,"said Karen Cuthbertson, festivaldirector, and events coordina-tor at Paint Creek Center for theArts, the organization that ben-efits from the annual post-LaborDay fair.

"The idea came about becausewe wanted to incorporate applesinto this year's festival, more thanhad been done in the past. Wedidn't want to conflict with peo-ple selling pies, but we wantedto give people an opportunity toshow their own pies."

With approximately 265 artistsjuried into the annual event, heldin Rochester Municipal Park,Art & Apples has always beenheavy on painting, sculpture,metal, jewelry, ceramics, baskets,drawing, fibers, glass and otherfine art creations.

This year, with the festival'sinaugural bake-off, visitors will

be reminded that Michigan'ssecond largest art fair is aboutapples, too.

"We haven't received too manyapplications yet. We're hoping wewill get more before the dead-line of Aug. 29," Cuthbertsonsaid. "We do have a few rules.Apples can be the only majorfruit involved in the making ofthe pie."

Judges will consider presen-tation, taste and quality whenselecting title top three winners.Entrants will bake their pies athome and drop them off in timefor 10 a.m., judging on Saturday,Sept. 8, the second day of thethree-day event. Applications areavailable from www.artandap-ples.com. The entry fee is $10.

'We hope to have at least 15pies. We Hope our pie bakers willstick around for the judging,"Cuthbertson noted.

The bake-off is just one of sev-eral new attractions at the festivalthis year, which runs from 4-7:30p.m., Friday, Sept % 9 a.m. to7:30 pm, Saturday, Sept. 8 and 9a.m. to 4 p.m,, Sunday, Sept. 9-

PICKLES AND RIBSSki's, a new vendor this year,

will serve up deep-fried pick-les, Oreo cookies and tradi-tional Polish foods. Brett's BBQ,another new addition to the foodcourt, will keep the Jamaicanjerk chicken and baby-back ribsflowing.

"We have fabulous favoritescoming back," Cuthbertsonadded. "Millers Big Red is afavorite and the Rochester JuniorWomen do an apple blossom thatis incredible. If s nice because youcan find something to snack on ora meal to take home for dinner."

Florence from Hamtramck says her arthritis Is sopainful she doesn't want to get out of bed In themorning. What can she do?

Florence, you are not alone; arthritis is theleading cause of disability in Americans olderthan 15. In fact, 66 million adults, nearly onein three, either have arthritis or are living withjoint pain. It does not have to be that way.

Studies found arthritis patients saw a greaterreduction in pain when they, combine exercise,diet, heat and cold therapy, acupuncture or glu-cosamine and chondroitin with current paintherapy. But before you start any complementarytreatment, discuss it with your doctor to makesure it will help rather than hinder your arthritismanagement plan.

Walkers take stepsto cure blood cancers

Last year 1,200 supporters took steps to raise funds for blood cancer research and patient servicesfor the leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

BY LINDA ANN CHOMINSTAFF WRITER

J eff Rysenga is still trying to deal with the fact there itsno curative treatment for the leukemia doctors d.iag--nosed three years ago after he felt a lump on his neck.

"It was hard for me to understand, telling me I havecancer and not to do anything about it," said Jeff Rysengawho shares a Berkley home with wife Ann and three chil- •dren. "The doctors said because there is no cure we wantto save the treatment for when you need it. I didn't havenight sweats or elevated white cell counts. I was feelingfine. They put me on watch and wait. The problem I had Icouldn't just move on. I needed some way of releasing ener-gy around that issue. I called the Leukemia & Lymphom^iSociety and got some information that was helpful in get jting used to this diagnosis." j

Not long after being told he has chronic lymphocytic leu-kemia Rysenga reached out to the nonprofit and became |involved in Light the Night Walks. This year he's chairingthe Metro Detroit Walk Friday, Sept. 28, at Memorial Parkin Royal Oak, one of seven statewide walks to raise moneyfor blood cancer research and improve the quality of lifefor patients and their families. For more information or toregister, call (8OO) 456-5413 or visit www.lightthenight.org/mi.

After a brief program beginning at 6:45 p.m., walkersleave the park carrying lighted balloons - white for survi-vors, red for supporters, or gold in memory of a loved onewho lost their battle with blood cancer.

"What's really neat about it is we try to make the actualwalk itself almost a party atmosphere with great food. W^have entertainment. It's just fun. The reason we do that is|the hard work of raising money is over - the Tupperware |parties or selling candy bars at work or their kids going ,around the neighborhood with coffee cans," said Rysenga,46, who works in product development for OnStar by 'General Motors. OnStar chose the Society as the focus ofits charitable work this year.

"We do kind of a three mile stroll carrying those balloonsstarting just after dusk. To see all those people walking

MEDICAL DATEBOOK

BY LINDA ANN CHOMIN

STAFF WRITER

Ryan Gliesman thought hisfatigue was due to the stress ofworking as a mortgage bankeruntil he "felt a hard object inhis stomach". The 29-year oldFarmington Hills man wouldsoon discover his enlargedspleen was a symptom of theleukemia diagnosed by doctorsin January.

Today, he's back at his deskat Quicken Loans in Livoniathanks to Gleevec, a medica-tion he takes once a day tocombat the chronic myelog-enous leukemia. Gleevec isamong a new generation ofdrugs that target specificproteins which cause cancercells to grow and multiply. Abone biopsy revealed Gliesmancarried the Philadelphia chro-mosome that produces anabnormal protein which tellsthe jbone marrow to keep mak-ing abnormal white blood cells.Gleevec blocks the signal.

"It's the first cancer drugthat's a target therapy. Chemokills both good and bad. Thistargets the one condition. I

kind of put my faith in modernmedicine. I don't ask as manyquestions as people might. I'mkeeping a positive attitude. Theonly cure is having a bone mar-row transplant and there's ahigh fatality rate with that andthey usually only do if a neces-sity," said Ryan Gliesman whoisn't sitting around waiting forhis condition to worsen.

On Oct. 5, more than 30 .friends, family members andco-workers will join him for theLight the Night Walk in GallupPark in Ann Arbor.

"I was very fortunate to havesupport from all my familyand friends," said Gliesman. •"As soon as I got diagnosed mygirlfriend found out about thewalk and had a fund-raiser. Acorn toss game raised $1,500at her parents' home. It's kindof like horseshoes. We got someof the local businesses to con-tribute."

with the balloons, it's kind ofan emotional thing."

In 1949 when the Societywas founded the survival ratefor acute lymphocytic leuke-mia (ALL), the most prevalentchildhood form, was 4 percentcompared to 85 to 86 percenttoday.

"The Society's mission isto cure blood cancer andimprove the quality of life forpatients and families," saidPeggy Pattison, deputy execu-tive director of the MichiganChapter. "We spend about $60million a year on researchacross the world. We haveresearchers everywhere tryingto find a cure. We take the bestresearch and do what we canto support who can make leapsand bounds to finding a cure."

Pattison is proud of theprogress made in treatingblood cancers. Since thelS'60s, the five-year survival-a ites have more than doubled.That's important when every10 minutes someone dies ofblood cancer.

"I think it's important tounderstand our further prog-ress is dependent on everyone.Support from each of thecommunities allows us to con-tinue to move forward. Publicawareness is important asVeil to understand what bloodcancers are. There's a littlebit of a misperception. Somepeople believe leukemia is justa, blood disorder and it's a can-cer, to understand Hodgkin'sand Non-Hodgkin's are bloodcancers, and we're here to help^vith all forms of blood cancer."

The Society offers a variety'of services to assist in dealingVith blood cancer.

Support groups estab-lish communication betweenblood cancer patients. TheSociety's financial aid pro-grams provide up to $500 forany expense to do with treat-ment, including transportationto and from centers, and cer-tain medications. While thisparticular program is not ona needs basis, the new co-payassistance for premiums andprescriptions is based on anindividual's financial situation.

Laura Dodd, as director ofspecial events for the MichiganChapter of the Leukemia andLymphoma Society, is workingto raise $300,000 from thewalk for research, and educa-tional and financial programs.Last year about 1,200 peopleparticipated.

"This year we're hoping for1,500 to 1,800. People caneven walk up the night of, butif they become involved earlierwe can raise more money," saidLaura Dodd. "We give them allthe supplies to do fund rais-ing parties at their house withsilent auctions. One womanwhen it came time to shave herhead had a party called Shaveto Save and charged people$25 to shave their heads aswell. There's all kinds of inter-esting ways (to raise money),not just a knocking on doorssort of thing."

UPDATE ON FIBROMYALGIAThe pain in fibromyalgia has proved vexing not only to patients, but to their physicians, At

present, the greatest advance in the treatment of flbromyaigia is not how to treat its pain butlearning where the pain originates. Research indicates that fibromyalgic pain starts in a paincenter in the mid brain, an area of the spinal cord just above the cerebellum.

This pain center has its own characteristic receptors and chemical stimulators. For thatreason medications such as Prozac and Paxil, and a number of tranquilizers used to treatfibromyatgia have not worked well. These medication act on brain centers higher in the brainthat are constituted differently and exhibit different responses to drugs than the mid brain paincenter.

At this time.no medication specifically acts to reduce the pain sensitivity of the mid brainpain center in patients with fibromyalgia, Finding a drug that will raise the mid brain painthreshold is the focus of energetic pharmaceutical research. Likely within 2-3 years an effectivedrug will come forward,

Until that time, the best therapy for fibromyalgia is daily exercise, ideally done early in themorning. Early exercise creates endorphins, chemicals that act as the body's own painmedication.

These endorphins are excellent but last only 24 hours, Thus a paiient with fibromyalgianeeds to exercise daily and consider exercise a medication, Until good drug therapy appears,exercise is the treatment of choice for fibromyalgia.

Good money management can send you back to schoolBY JULIE 8R0WN

STAFF WRITER

It's a tough gig.• You're trying to save money so youcan get back to school. Back to schoolso you can train for a career, not justanother job.

But you're on a tight budgetalready. In fact, it seems like you'resqueezing your nickels so tight thebuffalo are screaming. After all,you're only spending your money onessentials like food, clothing, housingand transportation.> Where's the extra money going tocome from? Well, there maybe leaksin your budget — and those leakscan be in some surprising places.The soda you pick up each day, thefast food you have for lunch a coupleof times a week, for example, canset you back $60 or more a month.Ouch!; Sure, you need food, but fast food,ghat's an expensive want. It's easy toconfuse wants with needs, but learn-ing the difference can be key to gain-ing a brighter future.

Capt. Malinda O'Neil, corps com-mander with her husband for theWayne-Westland Salvation Army,sees that needs/wants issue often,"especially the people who at the endof the week say, 'Man, I don't know

where my money went.'" O'Neil her-self found she was spending a lot oncoffee at Starbucks, and was able tocut down on that.

She finds people at all incomelevels may not pay attention to littlethings. "So they buy a Pepsi for $1.25"at a convenience store. A larger num-ber of pop cans would be cheaper atgrocery store, however, she noted, "ordo you really need Pepsi?"

O'Neil was talking about budget-ing with a woman who will carrybottles of water and an apple in acooler when she's out and about,so she doesn't have to stop and buyexpensive items. "That I thought wasa good money-saver. So I think plan-ning really helps save a lot," O'Neilsaid.

A lot of Salvation Army clients goto Rent-A-Center for furniture. Theyend up paying over a long time, andby the time an item's paid for it mayneed replacement. She recommendsfinding a thrift store or garage saleand buying there, and adds some newretailers have good deals even on newpurchases.

"I think the biggest thing for allincomes is planning," she said, andavoiding impulse purchases. "Mosttimes you can plan ahead." SalvationArmy centers are often available tohelp with financial planning.

The Salvation Army has teamedup with the National Endowmentfor Financial Education to help theirclients handle money wisely. In apublication put together on "AdultFinancial Mentoring," the two orga-nizations summarize information tohelp people become financially self-sufficient and move away from publicassistance.

One key suggestion is to keep aspending diary for a few weeks. Byjotting down every purchase andthe amount — no matter how small~ you may be surprised at how muchmoney you spend on unnecessarythings. Purchases like pop and chipsmay not seem like much individually,but can quickly add up.

The publication identifies partsof a spending plan: identify income,list expenses, compare income andexpenses, and make changes.

To identify income, determine howmuch money comes in each month.Pay stubs, bank deposit records andother records of income will help.

To list expenses, determine howmuch money is spent each month.List all expenses, and don't forget toinclude the items from the spendingdiary.

You can then add up the incomeand expense lists, and compare thetwo. If there's not enough money to

pay all expenses, it's time to makesome financial decisions.

Options for making changesinclude eliminating expenditures.That's where the spending diarycomes in handy. Are there items thataren't necessary and could be elimi-nated? Working additional hours isanother change, although it may notnecessarily solve the underlying prob-lem that caused the debt in the first

place.A couple of suggestions include

cutting optional phone services suchas call waiting, call forwarding, andthree-way conference capabilities.Rent-to-own purchases are the mostexpensive way to buy anything, the"Adult Financial Mentoring" publica-tion notes, and fast food is expensivefood.

By Dave MenardAvanti News Features

When was the last time you heard someone get excitedabout the prospect of buying a station wagon? For years, thestation wagon was the ultimate fuddy-duddy symbol ofAmerica; who could forget the wood-paneled wagons withthe third-row seat that faced out the back?

My family had one and it was decidedly un-hip (sorry,Dad). Families needing passenger and/or cargo room nowopt for SUVs. That's OK, but most SUVs can't give you theride and handling that a car can give you.

Now, though, the station wagon is back. Dodge has putsome style and muscle into the station wagon and the resultis the Magnum.

The Magnum comes in four versions: the SE rear wheeldrive, the SXT all-wheel drive, the R/T RWD and the R/TAWD. Our test car is the Magnum R/T RWD with theoptional Road/Track Performance Group, and it's what Iwould call a "muscle wagon."

You can see its muscle when you look at it. Similar to theCharger sedan, the Magnum features a long hood, a tough-looking grille and a wide stance. The R/T comes with foglamps, performance exhaust, liftgate floodlamps and l§-inchwheels.

Adding the optional Road/Track Performance Group($2950) will add 20-inch aluminum chrome-clad wheels andperformance tires (plus some other stuff well get to in a bit).A roof rack is optional, as is a sunroof. It's a good-lookingpackage. , '

The Magnum gets its performance muscle from thestandard 5.7-liter HEMIV8 engine, rated at 340 horsepowerand 390 lb-ft. of torque. That's plenty of power to get movingquickly and passing smoothly, and gas mileage is arespectable (for a V8) 17/25 mpg. •

The Magnum takes regular unleaded gas, althoughDodge recommends you use mid-grade (89 octane) instead.It's mated with a five-speed automatic Auto-Sticktransmission. It moves through the gears nicely when left onits own, but you can shift it yourself, if you like.

On the road, the Magnum R/T handles well and is fun todrive. The optional Road/Track Performance Group has a lotto do with that; it features a performance exhaust system andan upgraded steering and suspension system.

The suspension system is an independent SLA with highupper "A" arm, gas-charged shocks and stabilizer bar upfront and in the rear it's a five-link independent system withcoil springs, gas-charged shocks ind isolated suspensioncradle. The upgraded system adds self-leveling shocks and alink-type stabilizer bar. It gives you good road feedback •

Dodge has put some style and muscte into the Station Wagon and the results is the Magnum.

without a punishing ride, which is nice for long trips.The Magnum corners nicely and is easy to maneuver and

park with the power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering. TheElectronic Stability Program is standard.

Four-wheel anti-lock brakes with brake assist arestandard on the R/T and they work very well.

Inside, the Magnum gives you a performance-car feel. It'snicely laid out with everything within easy reach of the driver,and power-adjustable pedals are standard.

The Road/Track Performance Group Package gets youleather-trimmed seats with suede inserts and they'recomfortable and provide good support. The center consoleprovides a space for your cell phone. The Electronic Groupoption ($630) gets you an instrument panel display screen,vehicle information center, security alarm, steering wheelmounted audio controls and a garage door opener.

There's plenty of leg- and headroom in the Magnum, andthe power seats are easy to adjust. The advantage to buying awagon, as opposed to a sedan, becomes clear when you openthe liftgate. There's plenty of room for cargo and the 60/40split rear seats fold down to add even more cargo space. Arear cargo organizer is optional ($160).

The Magnum.R/T comes with a nice set of standardfeatures: Air-conditioning, power locks and windows, rearwindow defroster and rear window washer/wiper, cruisecontrol and keyless entry. The Road/Track PerformanceGroup adds dual-zone automatic air, heated seats andautomatic headlamps.

The standard audio system is an AM/FM/CD system withsix Boston Acoustics speakers and a 276-watt digitalamplifier. An integrated GPS navigation system ($1895) is

optional, as are a rear seat DVD entertainment system($1150) and a Bluetooth hands-free communications system($360). Sirius satellite radio with a one-year subscription isincluded with the Magnum R/T.

The Magnum R/T comes with an advanced multi-stageairbag system and a tire-pressure monitor; if you opt for theRoad/Track Performance Group you get the ProtectionGroup included. That will give you supplemental front andrear side curtain airbags and self-sealing tires. TheProtection Group costs $440 as a stand-alone option. Withthe optional towing package, the Magnum can tow up to3,800 pounds.

The 2007 Dodge Magnum R/T RWD starts at a little over$31,000: Add the Road/Track Performance Group, GPSnavigation system, rear cargo organizer, Bluetooth hands-free communication system and the Electronics ConvenienceGroup and you're at a little over $38,000. For that dough youget a station wagon that looks, drives and handles like amuscle car, but is practical enough for you to use as thefamily car.
